The first time I saw that Replicant, I had to save the image, open it in Photoshop and use the colour eyedropper tool thing to take a sample and prove it to myself. Even that wasn't enough so I whited out everything except those two squares, an only then did I fully believe

Well I was in complete denial until I printed it off, cut out the little squares and laid them next to each other.

Best. Illusion. Ever.

That one is fantastic. The lilac chaser illusion is also brilliant Robbie - couldn't see the face in the beans though.

Might check out the scientific america reference Cardza - thanks.

I'm not looking at any more of these tonight, it just confuses me too much

A and B are the same shade of gray.

I don't find it that difficult to believe.

And the rest of the image is a bit elaborate isn't it? All that for the A and B shading? There's many simpler ones which do the same thing with the illusion of two similar objects looking different in shade or size.

EDIT*
You're talking about the colour of the actual letter right?

No, the color of the squares. If you take it on Paint use the dropper tool. It's really cool.

As Ian has said - it is the squares that are the same colour. Slightly more impressive now I think?!

Plonker.

Really!?!? There's no way they're the same. I'm gonna have to check this out.
If they are then you're right - best, illusion, ever.

SPOILER ALERT!

It is literally a photo of a man's face, masquerading as a shiny highlight on a very dark bean a bit above centre.
